Starting yet again

Well, here I am again.  Trying to start again.  No pictures.  Someday.  When that new computer comes.  I am so thankful that this old computer is still working.  I do have another laptop that I can use if this one gets cranky again, but I dislike the keyboard.  I have not figured out why the screen keeps shrinking and growing. But it was free, so I have no complaints.
I was tired today, more tired than I have been in a while.  Two Tylenol PMs taken last night probably did it. It was not good to homeschool today.
If anyone is reading this who homeschools, answer me this question.  What does it mean when people say they need to do more home and less school?  I think I am at that point right now.  But I do not know what doing more home looks like.  Or sounds like.  Or feels like.  This is my third year of consistent homeschooling, not counting the August 1999-August 2009 stint I had.  I guess I don't really count those years because I was just doing preschool to kindergarten.  But I guess I should count them.  Only one of my kids went to preschool for both years, that was my oldest, Dorothee.  Everyone else did not go.  And only Esther and the boys went to kindergarten.  I felt a nudge to homeschool since 1998, but only was able to do the younger ones.  I had an opportunity to homeschool all of them in 2009, but got cold feet and tried working full time instead.  I learned a lot about myself in those two years, mostly that I really enjoy being a homebody and doing home stuff.  So why is it that I struggle with doing home with my kids?  Sigh.  Then in 2011, I decided if I was ever going to live with myself when I was older, I really needed to jump in with both feet.  I posed the question, "Who wants to stay home next year and do school at home."  Four out of the six thought it was grand, the older two liked high school too much.  Go figure.  Last spring, I asked my husband, "What should we do about Ruth and high school?"  He said to try her there and see how it goes.  I miss her.  She is learning a lot, but she says there is a lot of stuff that she already knew.  So she did learn some things those two years at home with me.  Except to type fast.  I am putting that on the curriculum.
Well, I am done.  Hope I get to write again soon.
Thanks for reading.
